Wii U doesn’t hit Japan until Saturday, but Japanese resident and Sony Computer Entertainment executive Shuhei Yoshida imported a U.S. version of the newest console by Nintendo. Yoshida revealed via Twitter today that his Nintendo Network ID is ShuYoshida, so follow him on Miiverse.
Good to hear he’s a fan of multiple consoles too :)
Yes, indeed!
When I get my Wii U I shall stalk him like crazy! …. Just kidding! :P
Hey, Alba. Sickr usually thanks those who gave the tips and/or sources the articles they got the news from. Just saying.
Alba mentions that he got the info from Shuhei’s Twitter.
”I got mentioned on Mynintendonews! Yes! I shall definately contribute once again in the near future!”
Wtf?
Oh you think you’re funny do you? A 15-year-old kid pretending to be a 50-year-old man on the Internet.
don’t you say?? -_-
The phrase is “you dont say”.
you don’t say??
See his icon.
It’s Yoda. :D
I thought Shiggy was 60? :P Wait… THATS EVEN WORSE!
i thought it was kinda funny.
That is actually Shigeru Miyamoto you prick! The most revered man in the fucking industry. Show him some respect.
Nintendward, whats you’re Nintendo Network ID? Mine is LazaraTheLast
xNintedwardx
No problem bro. See you in miiverse ;) . Look forward to smashing up your zombi with a cricket bat , as per….
mine’s openupyourworld. Will add you later today
haha, you’ll get to that a lot! I really suck at ZombiU xD
Lil Thomas…calling me a 15yr old? Miyamoto not like U. Careful buddy I’ll send Pikmin to rape your ass while you sleep bitch! Don’t test Miyamoto you joto!
‘rape your ass while you sleep bitch’?
Confirmed, You’re not Shigeru Miyamoto…
I wonder what games he bought.
So far he’s got Nintendo Land
Isn’t the Wii U region locked? He’s gonna have to import every game he buys from the US…
Am I on alternative universe?
You are on the planet Omicron Persei 8. There’s no Lurr though. You just missed him.
lol I read that first sentence in Lurr’s voice.
LURR’S BACK! C:
I WILL DESTROY YOU!
No you have entered the real world where C.E.O’s don’t have childish fanboy spite of other consoles just because that was the one the happened to get because they realise that hating consoles that you weren’t able to get so you can justify having only one console means you miss out on gaming experiences. C.E.O are not fanboys the only thing stopping Reggie from publicly saying I enjoy games on PS3 and Xbox is a fear of loss of sales.
^What Billy said.
Actually I remember a article here saying Reggie did play on other systems.
Reggie has stated before he even has an Xbox360. I remember him saying he liked playing Gears of War and some other stuff… Something among those lines. How ’bout you do some research before spouting your highly misinformed ignorance?
Yeah, I personally know loads of industry members who own consoles and games from their competitors. It’s not that rare.
Reggie has said that he has a ps3 and 360 and enjoys gaming on both consoles.
As cool as this guy MAY be, Sony went on record saying PS3/Vita can easily do what WiiU can do.
As their CEO is about to find out, all the high-quality tech in the world doesn’t mean shit without a clean execution strategy. When he sees how fluid the gamepad is, an EXTENSION of the system, not a foreign console trying to sync up, and when he experiences Miiverse, he will realize, he might finally start to grasp what nintendo haters and spec-whores can’t get their thick skull around- It’s more than hardware and horsepower that make a successful gaming experience.
Let’s not fool ourselves, the Vita and PS3 combination can do a lot of (albeit not everything) what the Wii U can do. Does that mean that they’re marketing it the same way? No. Does that mean it can be a substitute or alternative to the Wii U? Not really.
Also, the only reason they said it was because media outlets asked them questions comparing the two. The same way Reggie has replied about their own products when asked directly by media outlets. These game companies do not send out press releases saying these things…
Erm, Reggie has actually said that if I remember right :S
^ +1
OR…OR MAYBE, SONY JUST WANTS TO COPY NINTENDO AGAIN. OR IMPROVE THEIR CONSOLE based on what the WII U SPECS HAVE.
are you fking stupid? the only reason he got a Wii U is too study Nintendo’s new console so let the reverse-engineering begin… its COPYCAT TIME!
lol wtf?
I hope he enjoys it. :)
lucky duder
Too bad Google, Apple, and Microsoft pretty much forbid the use of competitors’ products in their offices and homes.
Actually, they just forbid employees from using the companies money to buy rival products. If someone buys it themselves using there own money, they can’t do jack shit about it.
Excuse me? Google uses Macbook Pros and iMacs everywhere, though they tend to load it with Ubuntu instead for both business and personal use. Google also has Xbox’s in their lobbies in many datacenters and their HQ’s lounges
Not really. I mean, the offices thing, for sure. I mean, since when did you get to chose your office computer? However, they mostly have their own company’s products in their home, simply because they get huge discount.
lol they can’t forbid someone to buy a ps3 or wii for their home^^
Awesome! I might just add him. He seems like a pretty cool guy and a true gamer if he imported a Wii U from America just to play it ahead of time.
Yup. He said that he usually gets two versions of every console.
Hope Aeolus reads this.
…Why?
He gets boners whenever I post.
and you won’t get a boner until you get my dick out of your ass
No Aeolus, to show you that Japanese Sony execs. Are unlike Jack Tretton and his ignorant hateful ways. Now I shall enjoy my Wii U and PS4 when released :).
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/11/17/sony-executive-i-wish-nintendo-a-lot-of-success-with-wii-u/
Yeah, one statement alone means so damn much. You obviously can’t do much better than this, so stop trying to prove it.
Someone’s upset; For no reason, I might add.
Mixer’s Jelly status has always been on overload with you, so I’ve noticed.
1.Why do you only come on sites with lots of controversy?
2.Mixer is just on the offensive and is suspicious,I don’t blame him.
Aeolus, guess what mofo? I live close to you, and i will hunt you down like the dog you are!!! u
Aeolus, guess what mofo? I live close to you and I will hunt you down like the dog you are!!! Unless your a nice puppy then i will adopt you!!!.
lol! Have you gotten a Wii U yet?
Why do you all assume that Aeolus is a fanboy? Yeah sure, all those Aeolus clones that were around a while ago made it look like that. But the real deal Aeolus is just the sane voice trying to get your feets back on earth.
sane? you’re kidding right?
Sane? Not sure if serious…
This gurantees Wii u and PS 4 shall be wonderful.
That’s cool. Like I always say, if you’re a fan of video games, you appreciate everyone’s contribution.
Yup it’s great
sigh, at least another person shows some common sense
My appreciation for Sony just went up, Sony Japan that is :).
I know SCEA employees who play and enjoy their competitors’ games. In fact, one SCEA employee (who is also in the public eye) even has tattoos of Nintendo franchises on his body.
There are less quarrels in the industry itself over consoles and the competition than the media and fanboys would like you to believe. Generally, there is great respect passed around and many are even friends. You just wont see them promoting the competition’s products, obviously.
What is your point.He/She probably just thinks thats “wtf”
?????
Yeah i gotta give more statements in my comment.Sucks not being good in english .
It’s fine.
Can’t tell if this your comment is good or bad……
It’s good.
YOU KNOW… the real reason is so he can rip the design apart and figure out where PS/vita combo goes wrong and nintendo goes right, right?
He said he isn’t even comparing the two devices.
http://gamerxchange.net/2012/12/03/sony-computer-entertainment-president-shuhei-yoshida-has-a-nintendo-wii-u/
With all due respect, he’s either lying, or he is alone in his thoughts:
http://m.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/sony-anything-wii-u-can-do-vita-and-ps3-can-do-too-1098939
The media…. That’s all I have to say.
That was someone from Sony of America (I think), NOT someone from Sony of Japan.
Should rename the title
”Japanese Sony exec gets a wiiu, is pissed of after finding out it’s region locked, is butthurt that the graphics are better than the ps3 and is hard at work breaking down the inards trying to work out why the graphics are so good ”
Joke lol.
You know after doing excessive research I found out the Wii U’s graphics processor has to be either an underclocked HD 5770 or an underclocked HD 5830. They’re most likely underclocked because both cards maximum power draw is above the Wii U’s peak consumption of 75Watts. With the use of the MCM, the “non-use” of the “mainboard” of the card, some underclocking the power consumption should lay at the 75Watts area. The step up is quite nice, on paper it’s nothing that changes the world but Nintendo balances their hardware very good plus the use of eDRAM can be a good addition. The difference won’t be seen in “pure horsepower” it’s more in the area of higher res, smoother framerate, higher draw distance and much better lighting (nintendoland, pikmin3)
Nice, have respect for him. I would add him but I’m sure his friend requests are full.
No they r not hurry and add him!!!
Nope! He only had 94/100 friends when I last checked.
This is great for him to interact with fans or check out feedback on miiverse. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s even friends with many Nintendo devs as well. Just because he has rival companies against him doesn’t mean he can’t buy a wii.
Yup. On his Twitter he said that they’re competitors, not enemies. This is a concept fanboys can’t seem to grasp.
http://m.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/sony-anything-wii-u-can-do-vita-and-ps3-can-do-too-1098939
Yeah sure they say so. I mean it is afterall a competition for sales…
So that means he doesn’t have the right to buy it.
I disagree with you. I think he certainly has the right to have fun.
It does look bad to have an unorganized, top down message, where your CEO-gamer says the consoles can’t be compared, while your corporation makes deliberate attempts to squash the idea that the WiiU is a new, innovative experience that people should buy, when they could just buy a PS3 and Vita, which OBVIOUSLY does not provide the same experience, or he wouldn’t have bought one.
Obviously he wants veriety, which means WiiU brings something different to the table.
Follow?
I have seen you post that same link a few times, so I’ll post this one again:
http://mynintendonews.com/2012/11/17/sony-executive-i-wish-nintendo-a-lot-of-success-with-wii-u/
i have all the systems, that way i don’t miss out on exclusives.
Best way to game.
I can only afford one console, but if I could afford a PS3 and a Xbox360, I would probably buy one of each :)

you are the fucking whore.
The truth always give pain to some people…
you indulge in gay sex.
Of course he does, he needs to give it to the tech guys to make the ps4 ;) just kidding…although i woukdnt be surprised
Nah. Shuhei is a real gamer. If you follow him on Twitter or read up articles by him, you can see while he’s in charge of his company, he’s also passionate about gaming in general. He interacts with the gaming community a lot and games a lot (not just on Sony platforms).
Oh im thinking of Kaz Hirai, that guy’s an asshole. This guy seems alright though.
Kaz is awesome! He pokes fun at everything, even his own company!
It’s not that, he basically throws fire on already volatile fanboys and makes it worse -.-
Really? :/ Or are you talking about parody Kaz? There are people who pose as Kaz online as parodies and do that type of stuff.
I haven’t had any personal interaction with him, but from what I have seen, he seems like a cool guy.
Take THAT, Kaz Hirai!!!!
Why would Kaz care though, uNation? :S
He accepted my request :D he currently has 91 friends out of the possible 100 he can have D:
What’s your ID!
Mine is Moodeeb
:D
Ahh its nice no more friend codes and mine is Tyl3rT :D
Shuhei Yoshida is the guy I respect most out of all of sony. Totally followed him on Miiverse!
SPY!! A smart Spy.
He knows Miiverse can’t just be duplicated until after it’s experienced!
Also, why doesn’t he just play his PS3-Vita U?
He plays his PS3 and Vita a lot (I can never beat him on Treasure Park D;).
As he said, the Wii U and Vita should not be compared – “apples and oranges.”
He’s a gamer. He loves games.
I admit, you didn’t dissapoint. I expected you to take at least another 15 min to post on my comment.
Anyway, I’m glad he feels that way.
Unfortunately the company isn’t following their leader as they already have compaired those apples and oranges by saying PS3 and Vita can di what WiiU does.
In any case, I do hope he has fun! If he’s the gamer you say, he’s going to have a blast! I’ll be Add’in him to my list to see what games he plays. If he is there to game, we’ll see it. If he’s just gathering intel on Miiverse, we’ll see that too.
Miiverse = Transparency = no bullshiters!
Sony comparing apples to oranges.
(not him necessarily)
http://m.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/sony-anything-wii-u-can-do-vita-and-ps3-can-do-too-1098939
I just hope he could tell his fellow sony people who said the vita and ps3 can easily do what the Wii U can that they shouldn’t be compared.
You know him?
I don’t know him on a personal level but I have talked to and played games with him in the past. I do have associates and contacts who know him on a personal level though.
” Nods “.
That said, yup, I’ll follow him.
Hope he has fun in the gaming garden of Eden. (Miiverse)
I swear so fucking much, My first 3 posts were “moderated”, but I’m glad, turns out I enjoy an online community that is polite and fun and safe for kids and adults alike.
Shuhei Yoshida… you are the best person to come out of sony
Its surprising that Sony actually wishes Nintendo success with the Wii U and now one person from Sony actually bought a Wii U… Microsoft can learn a thing or two from Sony.
I wish the US branch of Sony acknowledged the competition in this way. Nothing wrong with being a fan of a number of consoles. Whilst I prefer Nintendo ofc, I have owned all Playstation consoles and I’m a fan of a number of their exclusives.
Back on topic, we need more people like Yoshida-san in the gaming industry
They do. It’s the controversy that gives websites more hits though. Where do you ever hear these statements from? The horses mouth? Rarely. We usually hear “President and CEO of […] has said,” from media outlets. The same media outlets who ask certain questions to cause controversy that they know will give them hits.
Sensationalism and controversy are power sellers in the “journalism” field.
Tell that to Jack Tretton.
And stop posting so damn much. You look way too desperate trying to make everyone like Sony.
Maybe you should read other articles on this site. You’ll see that I comment on a lot. I’m active in the community. Maybe you should just stop trolling my comments.
Stop acting like such a Nintendo Fanboy, you’re a disgrace and give other Nintendo fans a bad name. SimplyG has respect for all companies and gives credit where it is due and defends unfair attacks.
jack tretton is probably livid by this hahaha.

See trolls! Even our nintendo’s enemies like the Wii U and bought it.You can learn from them.
https://twitter.com/yosp/status/275808938883158016
So its just a friendly rivalry of sorts
It’s business. That’s all it is. They protect their company’s interest but that doesn’t mean it makes them give up their personal interests and most of them are real gamers who enjoy games from all over.
Just the other day an EA employee threw up a picture on Twitter of his new copies of Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops II.
If you listen to the official PlayStation Blogcast, they have talked about Nintendo before and given praise to the games found on their devices.
Very few of them have the fanboy mentality.
Wait,I don’t get what you wanted to tell me.
Not enemies. =p
I don’t see anything bad in that. I’m pretty sure Reggie has a PS3 or XBOX360 at home and I think the same thing about iwata or miyamotu especially miyamotu who likes good games and the other systems DO have good ganes.
Alba can you please ban peteriuss or peter1uss with the red gravatar?It would be better for him to don’t `use my previus old gravatar and nickname because he comments too much propagandas and sycophants.Gratias
in english please.
I suppose you’re greek? Then you’re the real one.
Και βέβαια είμαι
αυτό το πρόσωπο είναι χάλια πέος
Why is this so surprising? Just because he’s an employee at Sony, doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy other consoles. The same applies to Microsoft and Sony.
I hope he likes it.
that was… unexpected in my eyes
So many Sony fan boys refuse to try let alone own anything Nintendo and yet a Sony Executive now owns one. Truly a sign that people needs to grow up and just play games to play games. Not complain and throw mud (especially when it’s not true) at the competition companies. Hope he likes his Wii U.
There wouldn’t be any point to “study the enemy’s hardware,” because anyone with enough tech know-how can figure out whatever the hell is in Nintendo’s console. It’s not like Nintendo went back to its storehouse in heaven (“ten”), took the holy grail of computer parts, and put it all together in such a way that any devil who dares to look will be blinded by the sheer glory of the ascendant chipsets. Everyone knows pretty much what the other party is doing nowadays; no point in pretending there’s a war going on, haha. You know, except for the Troll Wars.
Tokyo Jungle background, the dude must be cool.
Uh oh, he is going to copy it!
i bet he got one so they could rip off more ideas
